Ratcheting up pressure on the major studios, the union representing Hollywood crews announced Wednesday that its members will go on strike on Monday if they can’t reach agreement on a new contract.
A walkout would bring film and television productions across the country to a standstill and would be the biggest Hollywood labor dispute in more than a decade. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees represents about 60,000 film set workers nationwide.
Wednesday’s announcement from IATSE represents a line in the sand for how long the organization will let talks continue without resolution. Negotiations will continue this week, the union said.
“Without an end date, we could keep talking forever,” IATSE President Matthew Loeb said in a statement. “Our members deserve to have their basic needs addressed now.”
IATSE’s film and television contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) first expired on July 31 and was extended until Sept.10.
“There are five whole days left to reach a deal, and the studios will continue to negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach an agreement for a new contract that will keep the industry working,” AMPTP spokesman Jarryd Gonzales said in a statement.
The two sides returned to the negotiating table last week and have made progress, but tensions have been growing. Loeb recently told his members the decision to strike would come in a matter of days, not weeks.
“Despite our best efforts at the table, the pace of negotiations does not reflect the urgency of the situation,” Catherine Repola, national executive director of Motion Picture Editors Guild, Local 700, said in a note to members Tuesday.
The union has been seeking improvements in rest periods and wages and compensation from streaming productions that it believes are unfairly discounted.
Crews have shared stories of long hours and dangerous working conditions, which have dogged the industry for decades.
A shutdown would come at the worst time for producers, just as they are trying to catch up from delays due to the pandemic and as competition between streaming platforms is heating up.
With no signs of progress, last month IATSE called its first strike authorization vote in 128 years. The result was an almost unanimous vote in favor of strike action. The turnout was unusually high, with 90% of eligible union members participating in the vote and 99% of those voting in favor, IATSE said.
The AMPTP, which represents a wide range of producers, including Walt Disney, Netflix and Apple, has said that it has made concessions to the union, offering to cover shortfalls in its pension and health plans and increase wages.
100 least popular jobs in America
100 least popular jobs in America
Spend enough time watching the Discovery Channel and you’ll eventually run into Mike Rowe doing one stomach-churning task after the other on the hit TV show “Dirty Jobs.” The Baltimore-born host is also known for his CNN series “Somebody’s Gotta Do It,” whose title underscores the fact that even the most menial and unsavory jobs serve important functions that need to be carried out by a small workforce.
The reasons a certain field might not contain very many many professionals vary widely. Certain positions are only held by a small number due to their unpleasant nature. The jobs on this list are individually held by about 7,500 people or less, for reasons including jobs limited to particular geographic locations, requiring extensive education, or revolving around a niche and specialized craft.
Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics from May 2020 (released March 30, 2021), Stacker ranked the 100 least popular jobs in America by total employment. Only detailed job categories were included in the dataset. Every position’s number of total workers in the United States is listed alongside its average annual wage and average hourly wage, where each of those figures is available.
Read on to see if you hold one of the least popular jobs in the nation.
